PYE/ECOR/M1 - Reprocessed: Wind direction offset corrected
DataStreams:pye30ecorM1.b1
Description:
The SMET wind direction was consistently 15 to 20 degrees larger than the wind direction 
determined by the ECOR. The ECOR was mistakenly aligned to magnetic north during this 
period.

The magnetic declination is 14 deg. 58 min., which explains most of the difference.

The ECOR data for this period were reprocessed in November 2006 to add 15 degrees to the 
wind direction.  No other changes were made to the data. The reprocessed data were 
archived in January 2007.
Measurements:pye30ecorM1.b1:
  • vector averaged wind direction(wind_dir)

PYE/ECOR/M1 - Flux Data Suspect For Some Wind Directions
DataStreams:pye30ecorM1.b1
Description:
For some wind directions the horizontal fetch was not representative 
of the field in which the AMF was located.  Therefore, for the wind 
direction ranges 66-92 (buildings and trees) degrees, the fluxes are 
affected by insufficient fetch and  surfaces, buildings, or vegetation 
that are not similar to the local field conditions.
Measurements:pye30ecorM1.b1:
  • CO2 flux(fc)
  • latent heat flux(lv_e)
  • Friction velocity(ustar)
  • h(h)
